After decimating the Greek gods and surviving the harsh Norse mythos, it really does seem like God of War is poised to move to Egypt in the next leg of the saga.

Opinion Sony's Disgraceful Bluepoint Closure Should Concern Every PS Studios Fan
A sorry state of affairs
Sony disastrously and disgracefully shuttered Texas-based fan favourite Bluepoint yesterday. The long-time PS Studios partner never got a chance to ship a game under its new parent company.

News Here's Why Shawn Layden Thinks Sony 'Can't Get Away' with Making PS6 Digital Only
Disc world
There are many question marks hovering over the PS6 right now, not least of which is when it will finally emerge.

Review God of War: Sons of Sparta (PS5) - Series' Boldest Bet Is Also Its Slowest Burn
For Sparta
For a while, the God of War series was incredibly tired. The straw that broke the camel's back was God of War: Ascension — a perfectly fine hack-and-slasher in its own right, but it was so similar to what came before it that fatigue for Kratos' angry adventures really started to settle in. It's exactly why the Norse games took a very...

Poll Should God of War Trilogy Remake Adopt the Gameplay Style of Ragnarok?
God of more
We currently know next to nothing about God of War Trilogy Remake. It's in development and it's seemingly years away from release — and that's pretty much it.

Opinion The Euphoric Reaction to PS6's Rumoured Delay Really Confuses Me
Momentum killer
Sony may delay the PS6 until as late as 2029, and PlayStation power users are partying all over social media. Maybe I’m increasingly out of touch, but honestly I find it a bemusing state of affairs.
